Baby Dolls!

Baby Doll Sheep, that is!


Aren't they just the cutest little things? From this article, I found out that they are a variety of Southdown sheep, bred for their small size and cuteness.

No, they're not mine--they are my niece's. From left to right, here is Bob (8 weeks old), Arthur (12 weeks old), Olivia and Mellie. I didn't ask how old the ladies are, but they're full grown!

For scale, here is a picture of Jen with the sheep - see how tiny they are?Just look at that face! I need a Babydoll sheep!
No, I don't.
Yes, I do!
No, I don't.

No, you don't need one (or two?), as long as your niece has hers!

I have to make sure my daughter doesn't see those! We have a good sized yard and she has been wanting a sheep for a long time. Those are too cute.
